WTF: Why Camel Milk Is About to be Your New Secret Beauty + Health Weapon

Is it just us or does it feel like cow’s milk is about to be ancient history? With all the other alternatives available today, it almost seems to have become the minority. Almond milk has reigned supreme for the last few years, but it looks as though all the trendy, non-dairy options have some new (and at the same time not-so-new) competition. Say hello to camel milk.

While the idea of drinking and using camel’s milk might be new to some, it’s actually been used in the Middle East for centuries. Camel milk is 10 times higher in iron and three times higher in vitamin C than cow’s milk. According to Desert Farms, a primary supplier of camel milk in the US, this alternative is also 50% lower in fat, a natural pro-biotic, plentiful of B1 and includes five grams of protein per serving. All this is done with nothing being added or taken out.

And what about in the beauty realm? Turns out it works just as well on the outside as it does the inside. According to the Camel Soap Factory, it can do wonders to revitalize your skin. It’s rich with vital immune properties, alpha-hydroxide acids and natural antioxidants like vitamin C, all of which can work to revitalize and smooth skin and prevent wrinkles.
